The Olavsoka Festival in Torshavn on the Faroe Islands proves that the old Viking traditions have survived to this day. Olvasoka, or Olav's Festival, turns the Faroe Islands into one big celebration.
The biggest attraction at the Olavsoka Festival is the boat race in the harbor where traditional wooden rowing boats participate. Dance and entertainment, sports, and exhibitions accompany the Olavsoka Festival. Directions aren't necessary. If you're on the Faroe Islands in late July, you won't be able to miss Olavsoka events.
